Customer Comes In Early & Goes On A Racist Screaming Rant.
I came in for my morning shift today and immediately overheard screaming and yelling coming from the back of the store. I usually stay far away from loud drama, so I turned around before I even got close and went to grab a morning snack.
Fast forward about 30 minutes, I head back to start working and the noise is STILL going, somehow even louder. At this point, I had to walk over there to get where I needed to go. I see probably 3 head managers, a few associates, a few team leads, and an elderly woman in a riding cart just screaming and going OFF on everybody. I couldn’t even tell if she was complaining about something or yelling directly at them, probably both because her volume was on 100.
Apparently, she had been there since we opened TWO HOURS earlier and had not stopped the foolishness once.
So I’m walking by minding my business and this woman points at me and yells across the store, “I mean people like HER! She don’t know what real work is! Real work is being on your hands and knees in the cotton fields picking cotton for the white man!”
Ma’am. 😭
This was an elderly Black woman SCREAMING this completely bizarre statement about me, or at least using me as her example, across the store at 7 AM. Like girl, WHAT is happening right now?!
